The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Looks just as silly to me as pantaloons or suits or fedoras
We need to stop treating courts and judges like they are sone mythical magical place and judges are mini little emperors in their mini little kingdom. It's just a fucking place people need to go to handle their business. Why the fuck should everyone stand because the guy showed up for his job. All this shit is too much and judges are increasingly out of their minds
Its all a façade because the system is designed to screw you, and grind upon the face of the poor. Justice? More like just-us.
And just a bit of fun!
What it brings nowadays is a bit of yassss, queen!
Serving court
are they aware that their attempt at solemnity makes me giggle
I had a lot of trouble taking the courtroom scenes of Broadchurch seriously
That's stupid, they're stupid.
to bring formality, solemnity, and anonymity
That's exactly why Rip Taylor wore a wig, too.
"May I approach the bitch?"
Barristers in Australia wear these also.
Welp. Considering it does none of those three things, maybe it's time for them to go the way of the buggy whip
Not from Britain but trying to get new slang every day what is a buggy whip.
Just an example of something outdated that's not needed anymore
The whip used to whip the horse(s) pulling your horse-drawn buggy.
Interesting; here in Alberta a buggy whip is a flexible (fibreglass, at least mine is) flagpole for the back of your truck.
Hmm, I'm guessing that buggy whips were more like a flexible pole rather than the stereotypical Indiana Jones whip.
So a thin flexible pole would make sense.
Like when you'd whack your little brother with a long bendy stick when you were kids.
Thank you for educating me... i do appreciate it....no sarcasm.
That’s actually amish talk “buggy whip”
I did pause for a bit, pondering if it was actually some new slang...
Then decided if I'm wrong then it's only on the internet.
There's no stopping the start of its rebirth in modern slang. Someone just needs to give it a new meaning.
100% buggy whip, yo.
Ah shit, they be 100% buggy whipping in their whip.
